When you make Belgians, or any beer really, and use D90, when do you like to add? In the boil? Or in the fermenter?
And why?

I don't know if I have enough experience to comment on a flavor difference regarding the timing of the syrup addition, I just wanted to avoid ending up with a syrupy sweet mess. From the outset I was hesitant to add my homemade syrup at all because I worried it might not be as fermentable as it should be. After two weeks in primary the gravity sample lacked depth and the color was too light. In my opinion, the pound of 290* syrup added toasted marshmallow, raisin, and cherry flavors while the higher temps for the last few days helped it to finish out pleasantly dry. I hope I took enough notes to accurately reproduce this next time.Good replies as always.
How do you feel the flavor profile differs from 15 minutes or a fermenter addition?
